A Match sheds light on the humiliating realities of arranged marriages in India. Directed by Jayant Digambar Somalkar, the film follows Savita, a young woman forced to endure repeated rejections based on her skin color and height. Lead actress Nandini Chikte called the process “very humiliating.” The film also highlights dowry struggles, with Savita’s father contemplating selling land for her marriage. Featuring first-time actors from rural Maharashtra, Sthal challenges deep-rooted patriarchal traditions and seeks to spark debate on women's agency in marriage. The film releases in Indian theaters this Friday.
